Empowering Healthy Change: Weight-Loss Support with Dr Fiona Graham

I’m Dr Fiona Graham, one of the GPs who are proud to have founded Chelmsford Private GPs, and I’m delighted to offer video consultations for patients seeking safe, responsible access to weight-loss medications. For many people, losing weight is far more complex than “eat less, move more.” Hormones, medical conditions, genetics, life pressures, and emotional wellbeing all play a role. My aim is to offer a supportive, compassionate, and medically sound pathway for those who may benefit from additional help.

Weight-loss medication can be genuinely empowering when prescribed appropriately. For the right person, it provides a much-needed stepping-stone—helping to reduce cravings, stabilise appetite, and create enough momentum for sustainable lifestyle change. I have seen first-hand how transformative it can be, not just for physical health but also for confidence, energy, and emotional wellbeing. However, it is vital that these treatments are used safely, with expert guidance and the right clinical oversight.

During your initial video consultation, we will explore your health history, current lifestyle, and weight-loss goals in depth. This is a tailored, unrushed appointment where you can speak openly about what you’ve tried previously, what has been difficult, and what you hope to achieve. I only prescribe medication if it is clinically appropriate and safe for you. Not everyone will need it, and for some people it may not be the best option—and that is completely okay. My role is to guide you toward the safest, most effective path for your individual circumstances.

If medication is suitable, I’ll support you in understanding exactly how it works, what to expect, and how to use it in a way that maximises success. However, prescribing is only the beginning. Weight loss is a journey, and I believe strongly in walking that journey with my patients. That is why I offer follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, discuss any concerns, and adjust the plan if needed. These touchpoints become a trusted space—somewhere you can check in, ask questions, and feel supported rather than judged.

This approach is very much a partnership. You bring your determination, lived experience, and goals; I bring medical expertise, encouragement, and a safe structure to guide you. Together, we aim for meaningful, lasting results rather than quick fixes. My hope is that you feel empowered, informed, and in control of your own journey at every stage.

If you’re considering weight-loss medication or simply want an expert’s perspective, I’m here to help. A confidential video consultation is an accessible first step, allowing us to discuss whether this form of treatment could be right for you—and if so, how we can work together to help you achieve your healthiest, happiest self.
